Look at it this way, each pound of fat requries 3500 calories. If you log what you eat, did you eat 14,000 extra calories between the 7th and now? If not, it is Water weight. If so, you are insane ;)

I foolishly weighed myself the day after surgery. :blink: I think my weight was up by 8 lbs! Duh! Of course it was between all of the swelling, gas, Fluid pumped into me, etc. At first I was like WTF! Why did I just go and actual surgery to lose weight to only come home heavier? I hadn't eaten any food for over 24 hours! Sometimes your body is going to do what it wants. This has been a great lesson in patience and perseverance for me. It's a surprise each and every time I step on the scale. I never know if it's going to be a good one or not! LOL!

I had a total hysterectomy 1 1/2 weeks ago, and weighed myself the day after surgery and I was 6 pounds heavier. In about 4 or 5 days I was back to the weight I was before surgery! Don't worry about it right now, there is a lot going on in your body!

Same here, 2 1/2 weeks post-op, 20 lbs lost on liquid diet diet pre-op and nothing since. Very disheartening, almost makes me want to go liquid again :(!

Ladies as long as you are doing and eating right it will come. Let your body heal.

Also make sure you weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom. Make sure the scale is on a hard surface and you are wearing similar clothing each time you weigh yourself. It is amazing how your weight differs at different times of the day.

Thanks. I know this is a time for healing not losing.... but it doesn't change the feeling of failing. You start to see this lbs dropping and you just don't want it to stop... especially when your eating right.

At this point I am happy just to not be hurting any more and being able to sleep good at night! Yes I want to lose weight or I wouldn't have done this but everything I have read states it takes time! It took time to get where I am today its going to take time to get it off with hard work!

Dont worry about the weight loss right now it will come. Ive heard alot of ppl going through the same thing. I lost 10lbs on week 1 by wk 3 i gained 4lbs back. Focus on getting well & be honest w/ urself about where u need to improve. My dr said the 1st 3 mnth are the "tweaking phaze" fills are not 1 size fits all. If after u get ur 3rd fill ur still having issues then worry.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
